smaller the committees the more they
would accomplish. ,.-.-.-
Mr.. AIKEN thought that underline act of
congress there would be no great use for
the Committee on counties and perhaps Of
some others. He was willing to accept an
amendment reducing the membership OF
the committees to five.
After some further discussion the amend
meat was adopted, and the section as
amended was then approved.
Mr.. AlKENS moved to amend rule A by
striking out the clause which admitted into
the bar of the house judges OF the district
court.
Mr.. ELLIOTT moved to amend by in
clnding among those entitled to the privi-
leges of the floor of the house, representa-
tiveS of the press.
;Mr. FILE FCHER moved as an amend
ment that the ladies be also admitted to the
bar of the house.
The chair suggested that this would be
taken as the sense OF the house, and no mo-
ton was required.
The house rose from committee to receive
message from the council. The message
having been received, the house again re-
solved itself into committee of the whole
and proceeded with the consideration of
the rules.
Several amendments in the phraseology
of rule rs were made. on motion of Mr..
When the rule was reached fixing the
hour of daily meeting, Mr.. Dodds moved
to strike out II o'clock a. m. and substitute
Mr.. G Williams i thought there was no
present occasion for III ,rning sessions. He
ming at O'clock, sufficient for the trans
action Of all the business on hand.
Mr.. MOORE believed he was the oldest
man in the house, but he had a pretty good
appetite, and wanted his dinner before
coming to the capitol. He moved to amend
the amendment by substituting 2 o'clock
p. m: for 10 O'clock a. m.
Mr.. SPRAGUE tnOught one session a
day would be better than two. 1t would
give the committees chance to do some
thing.
After some further discussion the amend
ment to the amendment was adopted, and
the rule as thus amended was approved. :.
Mr.. BURNHAM moved that commit
tee cor sisting of Messrs. Patton of Law
renee and Dodds and Miltimore be appoint
ed to prepare bill to extend the time that
penalties shall attach for the nOn-payment
Of taxes of 1885 from February 1st to June
1st, 1887, and report the same to the house.
In support of his motion, Mr.. Burnham
said that the question of pDstponing penal
pOrtant one, and one which needs to be
acted upon at once. He made the motion
naming the committee, because those gen
tleInen had made study of the question
and were prepared to act at once and with
an appreciation of the necessities of the
situation. The sooner we can act Oh this
question, the better.
The resolution was adopted.
